Little Big Lies

Pirriwee Public’s annual school Trivia Night has ended in a shocking riot. One parent is dead. The school principal is horrified. As police investigate what appears to have been a tragic accident, signs begin to indicate that this devastating death might have been cold-blooded murder.

“Oh, calamity!”

I had this book in my possession since it was released and just never got around to reading it. It was the perfect way to end the year and begin 2015. I liked Big Little Lies more than The Husband’s Secret, the story just seemed better put together.
